Martin Sheen

Is anyone aware if there are charities involved in writing off debt in the UK, in the way Martin Sheen helped the people of Port Talbot over the last 2 years? Looking for specific charity / charities to make contact with.

In what way? Do you have a significant sum of money you wish to distribute to people in debt, via a charitable organisation?

Are you seeking to pay off the debts of others? Or to have your debts paid off?

If I were to have a sum of money to help pay off the debts of others, which charity / charities could help me in the same manner as Michael Sheen? Are there any such (debt consolidation) charities?

From a quick Google, it looks like Martin created a debt company, bought the debts off other debt companies and wrote off the debts. You could do the same? You could contact a debt collection agency and try to give them money to pay off people's debts, but without knowing the people's account details already, I can't see how that would work, they wouldn't be set up to take money and give it to random people.
Or you could donate to one of the debt charities maybe - it wouldn't pay anyone's debts, but fund the charities helping people in debt.
Alternatively, donating to the CAB is a good way to help people in need. Or any charity really.

What are you hoping to achieve?
